“Tiffany & Steve are the best! So great with our cat’s needs and truly cat people who know and enjoy to play with her. They’re also easy to work with! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a trusting and reliable sitter.”
“Lindsey is a fantastic cat sitter! Excellent communication, highly reliable—I felt very comfortable before leaving town. She took fantastic care of my two cats. She sent me fabulous photos, was thorough with her notes, and seemed to enjoy the cats—and they her! They were happy and healthy when I returned home. I’d be delighted to hire Lindsey again!!”
“Haowen took the time to feed one of my cats dry food one piece at a time after he puked! Haowen and his girlfriend always take excellent care of our cats when we're gone :) ☺️”
“Solaima was so fabulous!! She was great at keeping me updated while I was on vacation, and my dog and cat loved her!! She went above and beyond for the animals and communication! I would recommend her to anyone❤️❤️”
“Marissa was very responsive and on top of all communications. She gave great updates! My cat tends to get shy around new people, but she really took a liking to Marissa! It was nice knowing my cat was in good hands while I was away.”
“Annaliese always does a great job checking in on my fur baby when I’m away. She sends me photos and updates, and treats my home/space with respect. My cat loves her and is well taken care of. I would hire Annaliese again - I already have, and would encourage you to hire her as well.”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Nico! She has cared for him over multiple days, and I couldn’t have asked for a more reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter. Emily handled both oral meds and injections with complete confidence and care. She also kept me consistently updated with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled cat sitter—especially if your cat needs a little extra medical attention.”
“Szu cared for my cats twice a day for four days with drop in visits, and was timely and communicative. She included pictures and detailed updates of the cats and took care of their feeding and cleaning schedules.”
“We asked Arianna for a drop in visit of our cats and take care of their food and litter and renew their water. She was very helpful and even though our cats are afraid of other people, she knew how to make them feel comfortable. I recommend her to any cat owner and ask her to look out after them in the future whenever I travel.”
“Cat was responsive, kind, and a huge help when we needed someone to watch Cosmo in a pinch! She kept him entertained, sent great photos, and kept us updated. Highly recommend!”
“Cooper was an amazing dog sitter for Bailey. She was very communicative, wrote up great summaries for each visit and treated my pup with kindness, care and lots of love. I would highly recommend Cooper for all your pet sitting needs!”
“Emily was amazing! She took such great care of my puppy, especially while he was recovering from being neutered, and even made a point to give my cat some love during her visits. My puppy can be a little wary of new people, but he and Emily hit it off quickly, and he always looked so happy in the photos she sent. She is incredibly friendly, reliable, and clearly wonderful with animals. I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Ingrid has been so great with our puppy Addie!! She is always working with our busy schedule and constant training changes that come with a puppy. She is very responsive and I know Addie loves to see her when she drops in. Highly recommend, we are so glad we found her!”
“We’ve used Liz for our 7 month old puppy for about a month now and she’s been absolutely amazing! Liz has been incredibly flexible with our schedule, even doing a last-minute meet and greet before getting started and accommodating last-minute requests when our schedule changes. She takes such great care of our puppy and always sends thoughtful updates about how his day went, which we really appreciate. Our puppy Bogey absolutely adores her and looks forward to seeing her every visit! It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. We highly recommend her!! Thanks for all that you do Liz!!”
“Brittany was so wonderful to work with! She took care of my cat for a weekend and sent a thoughtful update after each visit. I'm so grateful and would definitely choose her again!”
“This was our second time booking with Sabrina and we were so glad she was available to care for our older cat. To know our cat was in excellent hands put our minds at ease while we were away, and Sabrina was prompt with communication and went above and beyond in taking care of Miss Kitty's needs. We would be thrilled to book with Sabrina again when we need cat care and know that our cat would agree :) Thanks Sabrina!”
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful! She was extremely communicative throughout the whole trip, and Rick absolutely loved her — she was even able to brush out a knot in his fur (and he usually hates being brushed!). We will be using Jessica again! ❤️”

Adam did a fantastic job of taking care of our somewhat temperamental seven-year old cat. He was very patient and gave him the attention and time he needed. He was prompt in arriving and immediately responsive and detailed to let us know how Keanu was doing. He was proactive and helped out by dealing with some issues that we had when we were gone, which was very helpful. I would highly recommend Adam for taking care of your furry loved ones.
Steve was wonderful with Pepper while we were away for three days! He checked everything we asked, kept us updated, and sent photos with every visit. Pepper is usually very shy, but he really liked Steve and seemed very comfortable with him. We would definitely book with Steve again!
Really appreciated Piper's detailed messages about each visit to check on my two cats. My pets are both older and on the higher maintenance side, with one needing daily medication and the other being more sensitive to changes in diet and a pickier eater in general. Piper didn't have a problem accomodating this at all.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in East Boston on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,802 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across East Boston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Boston. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
